Marker/Plaque/Monument Monday

'Evansville Fire Department...Hose House #10This is one of two Fire Stations in the news late last year and were scheduled to be closed. It is one of the larger "Hose Houses" (as they are called) and was erected & dedicated by this plaque in 1977.

This is the old station that it replaced. It sits boarded up just across the street from the newer one.

Someone designed and created this emblem that is on the wall next to the certificate awards that the fire fighters that work out of this house earned over the years.

Welcome to the TSGS Cruiser Blog!

Hello, my name is John G. West, TSGS first official blogger! You can make me look good by submitting some articles, stories, photos, etc. that somehow relate to genealogy. Maybe some research tips or interesting research stories. I will have to edit what is submitted to make sure the content is appropriate & is not too long. Please avoid submitting genealogical queries (there are better places to post them); however, I will consider interesting, intriguing mysteries or stories. I will only publish one article on any one day.

We will add some short notes and comments under titles like: Staying Afloat in the Gene Pool - Genetic DNA News; Racing Down the River - Brief Genealogical Notes; Navigating Along the River - Research Tips.
